St Jude Thanks & Giving Campaign: Help Fight Childhood Cancer

December 26, 2013 by Susan Bewley 26 Comments

Disclosure: I received these products for free to review or talk about a service. The opinions in my review are honest and my own.

 

With Christmas now being over, it is time for us to play with our toys and enjoy some the nice gifts we received from family and friends. While the marketing part of Christmas may be over, however, we are still in the 12 days of Christmas for those who are religious. This means you still have time to celebrate by spending time with friends, family, and also giving back to those who are in need. While I give quite a bit to the poor and in need, I also love to spend this time of year donating to other charities. One especially is very close to my heart and somewhere where I donate a bit each year – St Jude's Children's Hospital.

Most of us know St. Jude's as a cancer hospital for children, but no one truly understands the depth of care and commitment this hospital has for their patients until you have dealt with it personally. While it wasn't someone in my immediate family who stayed at St Jude's Children Hospital, it was a very dear friend to me, who lost his battle with leukemia during my 2nd year of middle school. Thinking about it, it is hard to believe that he has been gone for 13 years, but he asked if anything happened, that people please be nice to the people at the hospital, who though the world of him and his practical-joking attitude. Thinking of him, I don't know how I couldn't donate every year to the hospital. If even some of my money may make the difference of ending childhood cancer, why not?

For St Jude, this is the time of year that they really depend on donations and hope that they can help others while getting money to help cancer research and children in the hospital. Until the end of the year, you can take advantage of the St Jude Thanks & Giving campaign. In this campaign, they are working with many well known companies, including Target, Pottery Barn, Dominos, and other well known retailers to allow people to buy special items in-store or on their website that help raise money for this awesome cause. For each item sold in this collection, 50% of the retail price goes to the hospital, allowing them to continue the awesome services they provide for families in the form of research and care.

If you have some extra money from Christmas (or are hoping to get a tax write-off before the end of the year), I highly recommend checking out the awesome items available as part of the St Jude Thanks & Giving campaign. Once you have seen the awesome ornaments, toys, home items, and other amazing for items sold as part of this campaign, you will see why others are planning on making some of their after-Christmas purchases at St Jude's Children's Hospital!

    Everyone should do something. Cancer will not go away on it's own. Untill it hits home, maybe you won't see the need,but to each little boy or girl waiting and praying for a cure in time, they see the need!

    St. Juse is the most morthy cause I can possibly think of to contribute to! So sad that there are so many children in need of this. Such a wonderful charity to help those in need!

    This subject…is near and dear to my heart. My now 13 year old son lost his best friend when they were 10 years old from brain cancer.I support the cause whole heartedly and my heart breaks and I always wish I can do more to help. The ironic thing- they are having a fundraiser in February (Colleen Giblin FOundation here in NJ)- and if I were to win? I would end up donating most of anything I win from any giveaway to the tricky tray items.  There is no greater loss or heartbreak than to see your child suffer. One day we can bring on an end to this. For now? i do what I can.

      That’s how I am – I try doing what I can. I have helped with quite a few fundraisers for St. Jude since they do so much for the kids.

    This is the one charity that I feel strongly about. If I ever am able to help them. I will gladly do it. What they do is so important. Nobody, especially a child should have to suffer with cancer.

    A wonderful charity. What many people don't realize is that the work they do helps not only St. Jude hospital's, it helps most others too. Most are part of an oncology network and they share information from their studies.

    I know too many children with cancer. Even if I only knew one that would be too many. I am so grateful for places like St. Jude who are helping in the fight.

    This charity is really close to my heart!!  Unfortunately having first hand experience, I KNOW what these little angels are going through!  A child should NEVER have to experience this!!  What is so ironic is, that they are braver & have a better attitude than most adults I know! Besides money, they need all the prayers anyone of us can pray!!

    My boyfriend was born and raised in Memphis and has made me more acquainted with St. Jude's than I was before.  It is SUCH a great cause, and they do so much good for so many kids, all at no cost to the families.  I can't afford to give right now, but when I can, St. Jude's will always be at the top of my charity list.
